Joomla 1.6 errors galore on webpage - php

Question

I recently picked up a project from a client to improve his website. It's joomla website unfortunately and I don't know anything about Joomla, only have wordpress experience.
Now I finally got the site to work on localhost, the problem is that it's just error blocks everywhere, and I really hope some of the smart people on this site can help me.
And it's joomla 1.6 as far as I can see, the way I see that is in the readme.txt file it mentiones 1.6 repeatedly.
I get this error:
Warning: include() [function.include]: Filename cannot be empty in C:\wamp\www\fikile\templates\yoo_quantum\html\mod_custom\default.php on line 12
on this code:
include($warp['path']->path('layouts:'.preg_replace('/'.preg_quote($base, '/').'/', '', __FILE__, 1)));
and then the following error:
Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening '' for inclusion (include_path='.;C:\php\pear') in C:\wamp\www\fikile\templates\yoo_quantum\html\mod_search\default.php on line 12
on these two lines of code:
include($warp['path']->path('layouts:'.preg_replace('/'.preg_quote($base, '/').'/', '', __FILE__, 1)));
and
include($warp['path']->path('layouts:'.preg_replace('/'.preg_quote($base, '/').'/', '', __FILE__, 1)));
Please help, it seems the all the errors are related to the same kind of problem, but I don't have any clue what that problem is.
Thanks in advance for all your help.

Answer 1

Setting Site -> Global Configuration -> Server -> Error Reporting to "System Default" might help, if it's not set that way already.
